Nakuru

Nakuru combines fertile highland agriculture with volcanic Rift Valley terrain in a way that reflects its position within Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. The county extends from the Mau Forest complex across escarpments and open farming country toward Lake Nakuru, whose alkaline waters support large numbers of waterbirds. Lake Nakuru National Park is also known for protected rhino populations, while the nearby Menengai Crater recalls the area’s volcanic formation. Nakuru city grew as a railway centre in the early twentieth century and remains an important commercial hub for surrounding farms.
